Research Associate
TUHH - Hamburg University of Technology
Hamburg, Germany
The aim of the project is to develop computer models to investigate how mechanical signals (strains/stresses), as a result of external loads applied to tissues, direct the formation of new blood vessels.
The project will be perfomed in tight collaboration with the Prof. Ansgar Petersen at the Berlin Institute of Health (Charite Universitaetsmedizin Berlin), who will perform in vitro experiments of blood vessel growth within in vitro bioreactors. Experimental data from these experiments will be used for model calibration and validation. The knowledge will be used to develop scaffold implant materials to support bone regeneration.
YOUR TASKS
- Develop computer models of blood vessel growth within tissues;
- Validate computer models with experimental data from our collaborators;
- Publication of results in scientific journals;
- Presentation of project results at national and international conferences;
- Contribute to the teaching activities of the Institute of Biomechanics at TUHH.
YOUR PROFILE
Requirements

Required knowledge and personal skills
- A strong background in one or more of the following areas: mechanics, biomechanics, finite element modeling, computational mechanics;
- Strong programming and computer modelling skills;
- Strong communication skills;
- Fluent English: oral and written (C1 GER).
